Welcome to No.30 Whitby. Please take a moment to read our booking conditions and noise policy below as we want to ensure that all our guests have a wonderful and safe stay and also that our neighbours are not disturbed.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you have adequate insurance in place.
The following Terms and Conditions apply to your booking. They form the terms of a legally binding contract between us and you.
To proceed with your booking please confirm your acceptance of the terms and conditions by completing the form provided.
The contract for a short term holiday rental will be between the owners of No.30 Whitby (referred to as "us" or "we") and the person making the booking and all members of the holiday party (referred to as "you" or "your") under the following booking conditions. UK law will govern the contract. The contract of hire is not effective until we have received and processed the deposit. The contract will be subject to these booking conditions and must be complied with. The party leader must be at least 18 years of age at the time of booking and the booking form must list names and addresses and ages of your party.
Bookings are confirmed and a contract will arise on receipt of the terms and conditions acknowledgment and completed booking form with full details of all occupants and receiving the deposit of 25% of the holiday cost. Until this point the dates remain available. The balance of the rental will be due for payment 12 weeks before the start of your holiday. No.30 will construe non-payment of the balance by the due date as cancellation of the rental by the customer and reserves the right to cancel the holiday and make the dates available and the deposit will be forfeited.
The deposit required to secure a booking is 25% of the total cost of the agreed price. There will be a 7 day cooling off period after this is received.
The deposit paid is for the agreed dates, if you wish to change your booking to an alternative date before the balance has been paid it will be considered as a new booking and the deposit will be forfeited and you will be required to pay another 25% deposit for the cost of the new dates.
If the deposit and balance have been paid you are committing yourself to the agreed dates, a request to change the dates at such short notice may not be considered. In the event that we allow you to change your dates within the 12 weeks before your booking the deposit will be forfeited and you will be required to make a new booking.
Payments can be made by BACS or cheque, made payable to Mark Verity.
If you change your mind and would like to cancel your booking please contact us by email as soon as possible. Please note that any refund given to you when cancelling your reservation will not include your deposit, unless cancelled within the 7 day cooling off period.

Your inability (or the inability of any, some or all of your intended occupants) or disinclination to travel to and stay at your hired cottage for any reason.

These remain at your risk and do not give rise to a right to cancel or to receive a refund unless we re-let the property, other than according to the sliding scale below. You are strongly recommended to take out UK travel insurance to cover these eventualities. If you choose not to take out UK travel insurance then you accept responsibility for any loss that you may incur due to your cancellation.
